Local government and Tribal approval for all solar projects requirement

This bill requires solar project developers to obtain approval from all local governments and Minnesota Tribal governments with jurisdiction over the project site before proceeding. It mandates that applicants provide 30 days' notice to these entities, describing the project and allowing for feedback. The requirement applies to all solar projects, including those under 50 megawatts that previously did not need commission permits. This change directly affects solar developers by adding a mandatory local and Tribal approval step to the project process.
